Thanks, I did confirm that our flight is the new design, they told me that all long haul flights now in 2008 are the new design, hopefully that means the one with the foot stopper. Overall I don't think their BC looks very comfortable compared to Continental's which is heavenly, but I guess it's better than being in coach and I can imagine that the food should be better than continental but who knows.

My two questions are:

1) They say on AF's website that they offer 15 minute massage in the lounges at CDG 2C, 2D, and 2E. ??? Is this free or for fee ???

2) Also on AF's website, it says if you fly l'espace affaires that they offer transfer assistance for those who have 30-45 minute between connecting long haul flights. ??? How do we get this ???

Also as a side note, they say on the l'espace affaires web page that you can have 2 items of baggage in the BC cabin, but on the luggage page it says you can have 2 pieces of carry on plus a personal item. Am I reading it wrong?

That long wall divider between the seats looks horribly uncomfortable, what's that all about? I'm going to be very disappointed if the seats stink when the flight is 11 hours!
